Heal the Bay Aquarium birthday parties

Party venue · Ages 3–12

Heal the Bay Aquarium sits under the Santa Monica Pier at 1600 Ocean Front Walk, and it hosts private birthday parties for children roughly ages 3 to 12. A party gets private access to the aquarium gallery and touch tanks, the multimedia room and the outdoor patio. Staff are there through the party to interpret the exhibits and handle set-up and clean-up, and the party uses a reusable tableware set instead of single-use plastics. Optional extras are marine-themed decorations and hands-on shark feedings. Booking is through the form on the birthday page, a non-refundable deposit reserves the date, and questions go to birthday@healthebay.org or (310) 393-6149 extension 208.
